The Victim Was Taking a Walk and Slipped Sown the Icy Slope of the Breach a Distance of Over 150 Feet Seriously injured. Miss Kate Q 11 Inn, a young lady of Dan ville who has .been the guest of Mrs. John Barrett, at Win. Pcnn, tho past three weeks, narrowly escaped death yesterday in falling into a mine breach. Miss Qutun and some friends went out for a walk and in passing near tho slto of tho Wm. Pcnn colliery shaft walked close to a largo mine breach. Ice and snow made tho approach to the breach dangerous, but Miss Quinn would probably have escaped had not some boys shouted to hor, "Look outor you'll fall!" Miss Quluu turned to see who was shouting and, as she did so, her footing slipped. The young lady went feet first down tho glassy slope of the breach at great speed. Tho breach is 150 to 175 feet deep and those who witnessed tho accident saw nothing but death awaiting tho victim. Fortunately the worst fears were not realized. Miss Quinn continued sliding feet first to the bottom and then rolled over upon hor side. She was conscious, but dazed by fright. Tlin work of getting the victim out of tho breach was accomplished with great diffi culty owing to tho glassy condition of the sloping sides. Long ropes wero used and after cautious handling Miss Quinn was finally brought to the surface again. When Miss Quinn was onco more on safe ground she attempted to walk, but could not, and was conveyed to Mrs. Barrret's home. There she received tho attendance of Dr. Brady, of Lost Creek, and Dr. G. M. Hamil ton, of town. It was found that the victim had sustained a fracture and dislocation of tho right elbow and internal injuries, but tho doctors do not entertain fears of fatal results. Miss Quiun is 25 years of tge and one of Dan ville's most prominont youug people. GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY. Joyful Christmas Celebration of Mr. and Mrs. Shollenberger.

SITUATIOK 'AT DAWSON Another Report of Threatened Starvation This Winter. CONFISCATION PLAN PREVENTED. The Mlnsrs at DawBon Proposed to Appor tion Out All the Food In the Place, But the Captain of the north west Police Frohlblted the Scheme. Skaguay,' Alaska,' via Seattle, WaBh., Deo. 27. John Lindsay, of Olympia, Wash., who has Just arrived from Dawson City, says there will surely be starvation there this winter. He examined Into the food situation thor oughly, he says, and after satisfying himself that there would be starvation he sold his outfit, and In company with three others started on foot, each man drawing a Bled carrying "about 140 pounds of provisions. Lindsay says the Dawson people believe that there is no great amount of food at Fort Yukon, as has been alleged. The river rose Bufflolently and remained open long enough to enable a food supply to have been brought from Fort Yukon had there been any there. The people of Dawson, believing that there was not ample food Bupplios at Fort Yukon, refused to go there, pre ferring to remain In Dawson. Not more than 800 or 400 people took advantage of transportation "companies' offers to take the people to Fort Yukon free of charge. When tho miners at Dawson found that no more provisions! would reach the town by the river route they an nounced that a meetnig would be held to take steps for apportioning the pro visions In the town. Those whp had plenty, they said, must share with those who had none. Captain Constantlne, of tho northwest mounted police, In terfered and told the miners that no such thing would be permitted. The meeting was not held. Lindsay says the output of the mines will be greatly curtailed this winter because o the scarcity of food and light. .Coal oil sold for J45 a gallon and candles are as high as $150 a box of 100. Even if men were able to work their claims they cannot get light to do "So. These statements are borne out by all the returning Klondlkers, quite n number of whom have reached here the past week. Few of them, however, take as gloomy a view of the situation as does Mr. Lindsay. Dr. B. L. Brad ley, of Hoseburg, Ore., says that food is scarce, but he does not think that there will be actual starvation. Neither do W. B. King of Merced. Cal., P. J. Holland of Butte, Thomas Story of Victoria or Robert Glynn of Seattle, all "ot whom reached here this week from Dawson, the most of them hav ing left there on Nov. 2. As an instance of the scarcity of food In Dawson Lindsay relates the case of Dr. Vanzandts, formerly of Spokane, Wash. Vanzandts Is an elderly man, and being without provisions or money he offered a gold watch for a sack of flour. He could not get It, and re marked to Lindsay: "God only knows how I am going to keep body and soul together." Lindsay says 200 or more miners are prospecting at the mouth of Stewart river, but nothing is known as yet what success they achieved. Henderson creek, five miles below Stewart river and 40 miles from Daw son, is a promising stream, and It Is being developed this winter. The weather about Stewart and Big Salmon rivers has been bitterly cold, 70 degrees below being recorded at Major Walsh's camp, 12 miles below the Big Salmon, on Nov. 30. The Yukon river between Dawson and Fort Pelly froze completely over on Nov. IS. The river Is piled full of Ice In great ridges as high as an or dinary house, and a roadway will have to be cut through It before dog or horse teams can operate upon It. The outlook, therefore, for taking supplies down to Dawson In the Immediate future is not good. Inspector of Mines McGregor left here a week ago with a number of dog teams and horses to make the attempt to reach Dawson with about 20' tons of provisions, but nothing has 3lnce been heard of him.
